It applies to these "supreme" judges, too, if I recall correctly. I believe it was Jefferson who proposed limits on judicial terms, such that they would never exceed the length of one human generation. It was a good idea then and is one now. Ten-years terms might be even better. Anybody ever hear of impeachment? It applies to these “supreme” judges, too, if I recall correctly.

The Court has been leaning toward business for over a century, perhaps even before the ink was dry on the Constitution. And when corporations acquired standing as "persons" but an illegal immigrant is NOT a person...well, the "fix" is in for all three branches of government. A non-violent revolution of the people MIGHT work--but would require the military to refuse to follow orders to inflict harm on their own people. And men with guns rarely refuse orders from those who pay them. Tragically I think this particular experiment with democracy is failing. The timing is wrong.
